Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

I stayed for more than a month in a spacious room with a private bath. The price was low and is the best that you can get in the Oaxaca area. The location is an easy ~20 min walk from the zocalo and is in a neighbourhood that in my opinion is closer to the real Mexican experience. There is a low-priced meat shop around the corner. Two of the best restaurants in Oaxaca (Hijo del Maiz and Criollo are ~5 mins walk away). It is also very close to the terminals from where buses go to different parts of Oaxaca and Mexico. The host is super friendly and during the course of my stay, I witnessed him taking time to provide relevant information and bending over backwards to cater to guest demands. Importantly, there is a significant water scarcity issue in Oaxaca, and the two properties operated by the business rely on a private water supply that is pumped frequently, which means you are least likely to face a multi-hour water outage if you stay here. There could be a few minutes gap between when the water runs out in the tank and when pump is turned on to refill the tank, but the owner is really diligent about water supply (both hot and cold) when prompted.

GermanyThere was some trouble with the shower on the first day, which was solved the following day. The toilet flush sometimes doesn't work very well and the bathroom was a little bit dirty. The hostel is also like a 20 minutes walk to the center.
The host is super nice and very helpful. We had a lot of space and the kitchen was clean and well equipped. We think it's a great place for such a cheap price.

Location is excellent, easy walking distance to transport, market and old town. Lots of shops and eateries in the area. Shared areas are very clean and spacious, kitchen is fantastic with everything you need. Shower has very hot water. WiFi was good. Owner was really helpful. Only stayed one night for a bus connection, but would definitely recommend and would stay longer

United StatesThis hostel has everything you need. The location is outside of the touristy areas, so it's a bit quieter, but only a 20 minute walk to the city center. The host is very accommodating, quick to respond, and has plenty of local tips. I actually returned to this hostel after spending about two weeks there a little while back because of the comfort and the amazing host. Would absolutely recommend.

PolandFor this price, it would be unfair to nitpick :) The only real issue is the lack of AC cooling(there are fans) during hot days but the hostel would be much more expensove then. Everything is almost perfect.
Excellent price to quality ratio, amazingly helpful staff, quiet environment, cool balcony, hot water, very clean... there is much to like here.
